Glint Of An Eye (5/2), Tanqeeb (5/1), Mr Zee (6/1), Memory Hill (13/2), Nine Elms (13/2), Siavash (7/1), Like Sugar (17/2), Well Prepared (20/1), Roser Moter (125/1), Fast Deal (150/1)

GLINT OF AN EYE is unexposed over middles distances and ran another solid race for this yard when second at Chelmsford in February. Having displayed promise on turf early in her career, the switch to grass won't be a problem so she's an appealing candidate. Nine Elms and Tanqeeb head the opposition.
